This is it, she thought. Cattleya turns her back to the tiger, a sign of extreme vulnerability, and just as she glanced back, the tiger starts running towards her. Cattleya put all her might into running as fast as she could to where her squad set up the ambush.
<div>
Please work. Please.

Cattleya almost reached the stump and glanced to see Riv that is quickly approaching. Perfect. She dashed even faster, and used the stump as a stepping stone, aiding her to jump higher into the air. She quickly raised the sword with both hands and points it downwards, relying on her weight and gravity to do the job. Sharp pain surges through her body from lifting the sword from still having the wound on her back.

As the small girl dropped down, the sound of metal piercing through flesh was heard. Cattleya had landed right on its head, with the sword piercing through the saberfang''s upper jaw. Both her and the creature lost balance and immediately stumbled, with Cattleya rolling to the side and the saberfang falling forward. She got up and quickly distanced herself.

The saberfang was writhing in pain, squirming on the ground, trying to detach the sword from it''s jaw, blood were dripping and scattering everywhere. A few minutes has passed with no avail, and finally the saberfang stopped moving, most likely dead.

Still panting heavily, Cattleya sighs in relief. She fell to her knees, and her vision blurred. The burning sensation on her back is getting worse and she can''t keep herself upright, falling head first to the ground. The last thing she heard was Riv calling for her from the distance. Then everything turns pitch black.
